A review by aareyn
Dragon Sword and Wind Child by Noriko Ogiwara

3.0

This book was just ok, the plot wasn't very original for me, I didn't feel attached to the main characters and the ending seemed rather predictable, but then again this is a children's book. What I disliked the most was that revelations to the plot just seemed to come out of no where there was no build up it just seemed like characters just happened to find out at very random moments what the purpose of the whole war was it didn't seem plausible for me, there was no proper explanation, with that being said I don't think it was a bad book, it was just a quick read and didn't require much thought. I also took into consideration that this was a translation and Japanese novelist have a different style of writing. I enjoyed the side characters very much, all of the characters from the side of Darkness were great and entertaining, I didn't much to care for the Prince and princess of light though.
